🚨 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗬 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦 🚨
You’re closing deals, juggling back-to-back Teams Meetings, and somehow still expected to adult. Meanwhile, Jesus had the wildest week in history… and somehow still had time to drop wisdom that slaps harder than your 6am alarm.
Let’s break it down, boardroom style:
🌿 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗠 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗥 𝗪𝗶𝗻
Jesus enters Jerusalem and the crowd goes wild. We’re talking 𝗧𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝟭 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲. They’re laying down clothes and palms like it’s a red carpet at the Oscars.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗯𝗲: Treating Him like the CEO of the Universe.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲: "𝘏𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢! 𝘉𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥!" (𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝟮𝟭:𝟵).
• 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: Everyone loves you when you’re "trending." Enjoy the praise, but keep your eyes on the mission statement.
🍞 𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹
The Last Supper. The first ever "Networking Dinner" that actually mattered. Jesus drops the bread, the wine, and some heavy truth bombs.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮:: One of the VPs (Judas) literally sells the Founder out for a sign-on bonus of 30 pieces of silver. 🐍
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲: "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬" (𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝟮𝟲:𝟰𝟭). (Me, every time I see Nando’s).
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲: "𝘋𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦" (𝗟𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝟮𝟮:𝟭𝟵).
⚖️ 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿
Jesus is hauled before Herod and Pilate. Herod wants a "demo" of a miracle, but Jesus gives him the silent treatment. Pilate tries to "wash his hands" of the paperwork—classic middle-management move. 🧼
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁: Jesus is crucified. By 3 PM, the ultimate debt was paid in full.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲: "𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥" (𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟭𝟵:𝟯𝟬).
• 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: Sometimes you have to take the hit so the company survives. Jesus took the hit so you could survive.
🗝️ 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 👑
While everyone thought the "startup" failed, Jesus was busy in the basement of the universe.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅: He snatched the keys of Death and Hell. Talk about a vertical integration!
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲: "𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘯𝘦; 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳! 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴” (𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭:𝟭𝟴.)
🌅 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗣𝗢 (𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴)
The tomb is empty. The stone is rolled away. The "Founder" is back and His stock is through the roof. 📈
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲: The Author of Life conquered death!
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲: "𝘏𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦; 𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘯, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥" (𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝟮𝟴:𝟲).
• 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: Jesus was running things all along. Even though it looked like He had lost, it was all part of His Master Plan! He was in charge & winning all along!
🛡️ 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥? (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆)
Back in the day (Exodus), the "Angel of Death" skipped houses marked with the blood of a lamb.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹: Jesus is the 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯. When you’re under His cover, you’re protected from the "Triple S" threats: 𝗦𝗶𝗻, 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁: You get 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗠 (Peace). And honestly, in this economy, that’s the only currency that matters.
🔥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗢𝗠 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘:
Stop acting like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Jesus already offshored that burden 2,000 years ago.
𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿! 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗴𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅! 🙌✨

Brian Armstrong's best advice for a pre-product/market fit startup
“If you’re pre-product/market fit, the best advice that I have from that period is: action produces information. Just keep doing stuff.”
He borrows this from Paul Graham who said: “Startups are like sharks. If they stop swimming they die.’”
“Even if you’re not sure what to do, just do anything. Because when you do it, it’ll produce some information—people liked it, they didn’t, etc.”
Brian shares that there were many times in the early days of Coinbase when he just shipped something rather than debate it endlessly:
“There were a couple of times where the minute I shipped it, I knew we built it wrong. But I now had an idea of what to do next. And I only would’ve had that idea by actually going through the exercise of building it.”
He concludes:
“My other favorite analogy for this is that it’s like you’re at the base of a mountain that’s shrouded in fog. You’re looking up at the mountain and trying to figure out how to get up there, but you can only see three or four steps ahead because the fog is so thick. So you have to just take steps into the unknown. And when you take three steps, another three steps will be revealed ahead of you. And sometimes you’ll end up on some local maxima and have to retrace your steps… But most people in life don’t take the steps into the unknown because it’s scary.”

How to Pray for Your Country’s Leaders (yes… even those ones)
Hot take: 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 — 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹.
The Bible doesn’t suggest we pray for leaders… 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝘁.
Why? Because leadership decisions don’t live in parliament only — they land in our homes. Laws can shape peace or chaos, justice or corruption, faith or godlessness. Scripture is clear: if leaders aren’t led by God, something else will gladly take the wheel (Ephesians 6:12).
God shows us something wild h 𝗛𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. God views the Church and the State as a partnership. We provide the spiritual "air cover" so they can make decisions that help us live in peace. Remember: 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿!
Silence isn’t neutral. Neglect is costly. And yes — we’re accountable when we refuse to pray (Ezekiel 22:30).

🔑 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗘
We intentionally pray for our nation and its leaders.

🏆 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗘: (because this is not new)
• 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 prayed for national restoration while serving under pagan kings (𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 9).
• 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺 interceded for cities and leaders (𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝟭𝟴).
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 prayed Scripture over political authorities (𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟰:𝟮𝟰–𝟮𝟲).

One of the hardest things for us is to let things go. We fight the closed doors, get discouraged over who walked away, bitter over that dream that didn’t work out. You have to realize that God stopped it, not to make your life miserable, but to get you to the next level, to where He wants to take you.
🔥 𝟮𝟭 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥: 𝗗𝗔𝗬 14 🔥 Does Your Prayer Have "VIP Access"?
Ever wondered why some prayers feel like they hit heaven fast… and others feel stuck on “seen”? 👀🙏
Here’s the truth: 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 — 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹.
In Scripture, we literally see a prayer showdown ⚡️ on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18). Elijah vs. the prophets of Baal. Same sky. Same altar. Same fire test.
👉 Only one prayer was answered. Why?
Because who is praying matters. 🔥
Elijah wasn’t louder. He wasn’t dramatic. He was righteous. And righteousness gives access.
Here’s the GOOD NEWS 🎉:
If you are in Christ, you don’t beg for answers — you pray from relationship.
Jesus took your sin and gave you His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). That means you don’t approach God as a stranger, but as a child.
📖 “𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘪𝘮, 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘏𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥.” — 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟭:𝟭𝟮

God isn’t avoiding your prayers. He invited you in.
⸻
🔑 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗘:
Your prayers carry power because you are righteous (James 5:16) and because you belong to God (Romans 8:15).
Righteousness is not earned — it’s received.
⸻
🏆 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗘: What Happens When We Ask?
When righteous people pray, things move. We see it throughout the Word:
• 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗷𝗮𝗵 commanded the weather.
• 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗻 asked for wisdom and got a kingdom (2 Chronicles 1:11-12).
• 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 walked out of a high-security prison because a small group stayed up praying (Acts 12:5).
• 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 prayed in prison — and chains fell off (Acts 16:25–26)
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗸 were healed and the Dead were raised.
• 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 spoke — storms obeyed 🌊
Different requests. Same source.
Prayer changed everything.
Whether it’s deliverance from enemies, financial breakthroughs, or peace of mind—God is still in the business of saying YES.
⸻
🪜 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣-𝗕𝗬-𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡
In the Old Testament, people worked to be right with God.
In the New Testament, 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 — 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 (Romans 5:17).
So stop praying like you’re unworthy.
Start praying like you’re 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙, 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙙.
